Athon CA 740 Silane is a reactive chemical containing epoxy functionality and hydrolyzable methoxy groups attached to the silicon atom.
•Epoxy-functional silane with hydrolyzable alkoxy groups
•The epoxy group, or glycidoxy group, is reactive with various types of organic polymers
•The alkoxy groups promote adhesion compatibility with inorganic surfaces
•Used as a coupling agent for unsaturated polyester-fiberglass composites
•Coupling agent for polysulfide / polyurethane sealants, eliminating the need for primer application
•Used as an adhesion promoter for water-based acrylic sealants and in epoxy and polyurethane coatings
•Compatible with a wide range of resins and fillers

Athon CA 700 Silane is a reactive chemical containing vinyl functionality and hydrolyzable methoxy groups linked to the silicon atom.
•Reagent for radical polymerization chemistry
•Reagent for hydrosilylation chemistry
•Undergoes siloxane-based crosslinking via moisture curing
•Binds to inorganic surfaces through alkoxy groups hydrolysis
•Coupling agent in charged rubber compounds
•Coupling agent in reinforced plastics
•Polyethylene crosslinking site
•Siloxane polymers synthesis reagent
Athon CA 700 Silane hydrolyzes when combined with water, forming silanol reactive groups with the release of methanol as a by-product. Vinyl functional groups may form chemical bonds with polymers or organic surfaces

Athon CA 769 Silane is a reactive chemical containing methyl functionality and 3 hydrolyzable methyl ethyl ketoxime groups bonded to the silicon atom.
Athon CA 769 Silane is a reactive substance used in the manufacture of oxime neutral cure silicone sealants.
Athon CA 769 Silane is used as a crosslinking agent for oxime cure sealants. It can be used alone or in combination with other oxime silanes to achieve specific properties (such as desired cure rate, adhesion, etc.)
In contrast to acid or base cure systems, no primary acid or amine is released during application, but a neutral species, 2-butanoneoxime.
Due to the neutral character of 2-butanoneoxime, oxime sealants can be applied even to corrosion-sensitive substrates such as metals or marbles.
